Yes I think,

That it is important for Fire Fighters to have many different alternatives to fighting fires so that Fire Fighters can sometimes be the safest that they can be when Fighting Fires even though it is a dangerous job and when people take the job they know the risks that are involved in the dangerous job that Fire Fighting is mostly in general.

Yes, protecting yourself is the most important part of any rescue operation.

The Government should fund other ways for Fire Fighters to approach fires for their protection. When a fire fighter is trying to save others, they must ensure that they themselves are first safe. If they don't, it is possible for them to contribute to the problem and also need to have themselves rescued. Finding another way for Fire Fighters to approach fires that will help guarantee their safety will enable them to perform rescues more quickly, with greater safety for themselves, and ultimately a higher survival rate for both victims and fire fighters alike.

Yes, I do believe that the Government should fund another way for Fire Fighters to approach fires for their protection.

The reason that I believe that the Government should fund another way for Fire Fighters to approach fires for their protection because Fire Fighters always try to save as many people they can from fires. Fire Fighters need to protect themselves better because in the past there has been many deaths of Fire Fighters while they were trying to save the lives of victims of fires.

Why would you need funding to change method?

In order to protect firemen from fires when saving others, you simply need the common sense to assess whether the fire is too dangerous - no funding is needed for a new method, especially in these tough economic times. It also depends on how many lives you will save - if you are saving 5 people, the risk should be assessed differently from if you are saving 1 person.
